How do I send an email or communication to you or to your team? I have an idea that I thought I'd pass on to you. I really thought you'd already cover this, but you haven't and yet you should!? I joined BrainTrust and love the content. I have a ways to go before everything is implemented but working on it. In the meantime I can't find a contact us or email for you.

Thanks. -DK

Thank you for your reply. I'm sticking to managing it directly then, as usual.

Thanks again, your advice lets me rest assured, as always.

It's great having you as a mentor.

I use the Adwords Editor, and not much else. Google Analytics of course, some reporting tools like Winner Alert, some spreadsheets to analyze stuff.

I don't have 500 clients. I would consider having more than a few clients a complete breakdown in my plans for this life. Actually, even having one client represents a failure on my part, but I'm not perfect.

If I did have 500 clients, I would expect to manage them with 'a bunch of employees.'

I was wondering if you can recommend any tools for managing AdWords campaigns for 500 clients?

We have a project going where we manage client's AdWords ads as part of a marketing platform we offer.

Do you do that "within" AdWords or are you using any external tools at all?

Cheers,

Jonathan

Thanks and regards Lars

Firstly, how much time would you dedicate to keyword research & expansion? Without considering plurals and location I have managed to generate approx. 7000 variations of keywords with modifiers… Adding a location to all these keywords and phrases will create 1000's of additional keywords and phrases (i.e. in Australia, If I use the major towns and cities I would have and additional 50-60 variations X 7000 phrases = lots and lots of phrases…) I have a feeling I'm going about this wrong, which leads me into my second question;

Q2: My website is being designed for people to find a qualified tradesman to assist with assembly and installation of outdoor furniture & structures, indoor furniture, Home Theatre/AV equipment & Fitness/Gym Equipment. I have a feeling I need to be doing this 4 times (Once for each category) What are my core keywords – Are they Assembly, Installation, Configuration, Setup OR are they variations of outdoor furniture & structures (sheds, gazebos, clotheslines, tables), indoor furniture (tables, chairs, wardrobes, shelves, beds, desks), Home Theatre/AV equipment (plasma's, lcd's, speakers, amplifiers, dvd's) & Fitness/Gym Equipment (treadmills, home gyms, exercise bikes). The latter is how I have done it but I'm coming up with too many terms and I think I am just complicating things and confusing myself…

Thanks

Folks, this is an example of how you can lose credibility by hiring people to post spam comments on others' blogs:

What are the odds that I would ever recommend this tool? Not too high…
